Box of Maine helping veterans heat their homes this winter
With the price of heating oil in the face of winter weather slowly moving into Maine, Box of Maine has partnered with Maine Veterans Project to heat the homes of Maine veterans.
Doc Goodwin, the president of the Maine Veterans project, and Daniel Finnemore, the president of Box of Maine, worked with Crafted Downeast to create 600 dog tag ornaments from locally sourced cedar. The ornaments are being sold at Box of Maine's new retail location in Brewer, with all proceeds used for heating oil in the tanks of veterans.
Box of Maine has also created a "Support a Maine Soldier" box that allows people to purchase a gift box that the company will send to a Maine soldier deployed overseas this holiday season. They aim is to "send a taste of home to those who are selflessly serving our country, away from family and friends, all around the world."
